This week, I decided to make something that doesn’t require a lot of effort or concentration. Plus, Trader Joe’s has their vegan marshmallows back in stock for the season! (Score!) So I decided to make a classic that’s sure to bring out the inner child in you. I’m making Rice Krispie Treats with a twist. There are so many amazing cereals out there that are just dying to be made into these delicious treats. (I know because they told me in the cereal aisle.) I wanted something fruity, which is why I choose Fruity Pebbles, plus they’re accidentally vegan. And then I decided to get Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, also accidentally vegan. If you try these recipes or use a different cereal, let me know! Tag me on Instagram @messy_vegan_baker
